The Dark Knight Can the dark knight do well INTERNATIONALLY?

[chamber-music]

I love Cliffhanger and Die Hard 2 aswell

The english villian who kicked stallone around like a football lives round the corner from me. He was in Eastenders too.

I'm a member from the boards from the Belgian Batman fansite. We ALL love Batman and i think many other people who don't spend so much time as we do on the internet gonna watch The Dark Knight.

I think many people her in Belgium and The Netherlands loved Batman Begins. Especially because its more realistic how a man decides to wear a suit. And how it comes he looks like a bat.

I'm already, with you all, looking very forward to see it. Only one bad thing: We in Belgium get the movie on august 8!!! And want it in July!!!

Steve

Lets hope Belguim doesn't split up into two different countries before it comes out

 

[Mr.E.Nygma]

They need to have Batman pose in front of an American flag!

Let me modify the quote on the Batman Begins 2-disc DVD cover about what was stated here (no offense to the poster, just the sentence) : TWO THUMBS WAY DOWN!

 

[The Joker]

batman begins performed quite poorly comparing to all the spiderman films!
spiderman is a much bigger draw
this means spiderman is much more popular than batman!

Titanic made more money than Spider-Man. Does that mean Titanic is more popular than Spidey?

Titanic made more money than Spider-Man. Does that mean Titanic is more popular than Spidey?

Hell yeah ..The titanic is my favourite superhero.... with it's amazing super power of sinking....

 

[Doomofman]

spiderman is far more popular than batman or any other superhero period
look at the amazing box office world wide of all 3 films and that doesnt even include the dvd sales

batman is so far behind- it just doesnt appeal to people the same way spiderman does!

Its just a pity the spiderman movies were god awful....

 

[chamber-music]

Thats because SpiderMan out Emo's Batman. Bruce would have to cry about 50 times to keep up with Parkers wuss factor.

Yeah maybe lucious fox could make the new batsuit have a big fringe and thick rimmed glasses...

 

[Doomofman]

spiderman 1 and 2 were good
3 was just entertainment like batman and robin lol
batman begins is pretty boring though

I found bayman begins gripping and interesting... I found the spiderman movies annoying, cliche and cheesey....

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Hell yeah ..The titanic is my favourite superhero.... with it's amazing super power of sinking....

my problem with titanic is that you knew how it was going to end, that and it was a touch crap

 

[Doomofman]

at first batman begins was fun to watch but its so boring now , its a very slow moving story unlike spiderman, where u can join the movie from any scene and its fun!

I certainlt aint looking for a fun movie with begins or TDK... I suppose.. thats why spideys more popular.. its kid friendly... Begins and TDK are serious movies

 

[El KnightoDarko]

Thats because SpiderMan out Emo's Batman. Bruce would have to cry about 50 times to keep up with Parkers wuss factor.

Couldn't resist t:

 

[The Joker]

What did you find so boring about Begins?

 

[elgato]

OF COURSE! BATMAN DOESN'T HAVE FANS ONLY IN AMERICA, BB WAS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR FILMS IN 2005 ONLY IN MEXICO!!

 

[ActuallyRobin]

it had to be slow moving to an to adequately explain Bruce Wayne's motivations and how he progressed to become Batman. I thought it was an amazing film

 

[hatebox]

bb is a very slow moving film, i have to skip like 5 chapters before i can start watching bb its just plain boring!

poor baby.

 

[The Joker]

Begins was great. I could watch Liam Neeson as Ra's all day. He's so captivating in the role. His conversations with Bruce are gold.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

poor baby.

guess he couldn't wait till the booms and stuffs. though I'm sure there will be more action in TDK, and right from the start.

batman isnt a superhero well, not strictly imo, hes just a man, with alot of money, that decides to do what is right and help Gotham. He is more grounded which makes him more believeable and ultimately that's why I prefer him.

there were plenty of fun elements, blowing up a elevated train track? check! rooftop chase, check! ninjas, check! see

I saw BB twice at cinema and watch it quite often at home in tasty HD goodness.

It's just because Spiderman is more a kiddy oriented film.

But the kids will eventually grow up and probably find Spiderman boring. That was my case anyway. I loved Spiderman until I was 12.

[ActuallyRobin]

again this is irrelavant when in comes to international box office

yes perhaps it won't do as well as SM3, do I care? No. Box office penis envy is stupid. I look at a film based on it's own merits.

Exactly.
Batman & Robin was better internationally at box office than inside the USA and killed the last franchise.

 

[Juha]

I had such a blast watching Batman Begins for the first time! After the movie ended I just stayed at the theatre and praised the movie to the manager. The manager was a huge Batman fan and we talked about the movie for like half an hour!

And I still love it. I've seen it like six or seven times and I never have to skip a single scene. I think it's far from boring. It's visually stunning, thematically interesting, funny, smart, dark, exciting, superbly acted and directed etc.

I also loved Spider-man 2 but when I watch it now, I find it a bit boring. I haven't even seen SM3 mainly because I've heard so many bad things about it and I find the whole symbiot/Venom thing so god damn boring. Maybe I rent it some day.

Batman owns Spider-man! Even if the wall-crawler teamed up with the X-men! Batman would still annihilate them all! You just don't f*** with The Dark Knight!

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Exactly.

Well box office success isn't always an indicator of quality t:

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Atleast WB is actually concerned with making good bat-films these days rather than just trying to bank millions off summer popcorn garbage.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

ur a batman fun boy thats why!
spiderman owns on the box office regardless

and I eat omlettes for breakfast. and yes I have no doubt spiderman did better at the box office <> but thats how much I care.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Can the dark knight do well INTENATIONALLY?

this is the topic

not the quality of the movie

tdk will only do well if it is exciting and fast passed unlike bb
which was slow and boring 4 the average movie goer!

yes it will do well internationally, whether it will do better than SM is not the topic.

slow and boring for the average movie goer? youve obviously not see the score of BB at rotten tomatoes
